- Have you tried to fill the filter with some active carbon? I've also had
- problems with cloudy water but after I put some active carbon into the
- filter everything started to look brighter. After a couple of days you'll
- notice that the water is super bright! I use carbon in my filter all the
- time now and I change the water in my 100 liter once a month. Also pay
- attention on how much food your fishes get every day. If you feed them too
- much the water will stay cloudy even with active carbon.
